Graphics Problem (possibly nVidia related?)

I have a nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX video card. When I first installed it, I was able to run CoH with the graphics settings nearly maxed out without any problems.

However, recently, I had to wipe and reinstall Windows. Now, for some reason, I can't even move my graphic settings to anything beyond "Performance." Whenever I do, the game client freezes up. I used to be able to run it in Ultra mode without any problems whatsoever.

Anybody know if there's anything I can do? And yes, I've ran and installed the latest nVidia drivers.

Edited to add: Driver version is 8.17.12.6658

On Monday, I was having freezing problems. The game would load up but I couldn't even get online without it freezing even though everything was perfectly fine the night before. I even went out and bought a new video card with no change. So far the only thing that has worked was to add in "-renderthread 0" to the startup options.

do you have the EVGA precision tool installed? If so that can cause problems with CoX when both are running at the same time.

No I don't have the EVGA precision tool installed. However, doing "-renderthread 0" in the startup worked.

While it's not helpful to you, it does make me feel relieved that it wasn't something I did or screwed up on my computer.
